You’ll need two dumbbells and a medicine ball for some exercises. Cobra Pose Begin by lying on your stomach with your legs extended behind you. The tops of your feet should be against the floor. Place your hands directly below your shoulders with your elbows tucked in. Pushing through your hands, begin to lift your head and chest off the ground while drawing your shoulders back. Hold the pose for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times. Traveling Plank Start in plank position with your arms fully extended, hands beneath your shoulders. Make sure that your lower back isn’t sagging. Engage your core as you lift your right hand and right foot off the ground and move them a foot to the right. Pause for a second, then move another foot to the right. Complete 10 steps to the right, then switch sides and make your way back to the starting point. If you don’t have a lot of room, alternate sides rather than completing all reps for each side at once. Dumbbell Chest Presses With a dumbbell in each hand, lie with your back flat on a bench, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Hold the dumbbells on either side of your chest with your elbows bent. Bracing your core, slowly push the dumbbells upward until your arms are fully extended. Pause, then lower the weights back down to the starting position. Aim for 3 sets of 12 reps. Dumbbell Fly With a dumbbell in each hand, lie with your back flat on a bench, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Extend your arms out to the sides so that your body forms a T shape. Keeping your core tight, begin to raise both dumbbells above your chest until the meet in the middle. Then, slowly lower back down to the starting position. Complete 3 sets of 12 reps. Push-ups Begin on all fours and extend your legs behind you, propping yourself up on your toes. Place your hands slightly wider than your shoulders and fully extend your arms. Bend your elbows and lower yourself down until your chest comes as close to the floor as you can get it. Push yourself back to the starting position. Complete 3 sets of as many push-ups as you can. Medicine Ball Superman Start by lying on your stomach on the floor, with your arms extended out in front of you, holding the medicine ball in your hands. Use your core and chest to raise your legs, upper body and medicine ball off the ground. Lift as high as you can without straining your neck and pause at the top. Return to the starting position. Complete 3 sets of 12 reps.
